    Hi, I'm new on your blog and while browsing looking for tips about medical coding and billing. I"m graduated in University in this career. Still looking for job and almost to quit because most of the company looking for experience, I don't have It so sad that after I finish this career, I can't find a job. I'm proud of you and got my attention to pursue this career after I watched all your blog.

    Hi Precious, how are you? I studied Medical coding and billing too last 2020 and finished it early 2021, but it didn't go to be like a medical coder. Maybe because I don't get any motivation to continue it. Now, I saw you here, proud of you!

    Hello. I’ve been binging your videos. I’ve been researching about what school to go. Im considering AMCI, like u, I have no medical background. But I’m nervous about it. You’re very inspiring though.

    Hi Precious! Now I am considering this career path as well. You inspire me a lot! But I thinking of taking CPC course from AAPC itself.
    How long did it take you to complete all these steps-from the first day of studying to finishing your resume and getting your first job?

    I love AMCI and Mrs. Jay's videos on RUclips! I was so happy when you said that was where you attended your schooling. I did not go with AMCI, but I did not know of them at the time I started getting into medical coding or I would have. I am currently about to take my CPC exam. Would you say all the costs of CEUs, Codify, and just the yearly expenses are worth the job? I get that it can add up, which is why I am curious about your opinion of the whole thing.

    Hello,
    My name is Yasin. I live in Turkey and I am a pharmacist actually. We use ICD-10 codes in Turkey for Health Ministry.
    I want to learn CPC practices and join the exam online. I want to ask this question:
    - After passing the exam, how can I go further?
    - Do I do my new job remotely from Turkey to worldwide?
    - Do you recommend that job for the future? In any way I want to immigrate to US in the future.
    Thank you for your response.
    Sincerely
    Yasin
